Uptime on VPS/decicated servers of OVH ?

OnaDavney · Jun 16, 2016

I would like to know your experience about uptime of OVH VPS and dedicated servers. does it have 99.9% uptime as they are offering?

Hello OnaDavney !

Yes even with a control panel on it never have any downtime in 2 years. The only problem you can have is to migrate when they update VPS specs.
You have to backup and migrate to a new one. But no more downtime than with dedicated.

Let me 3-4 hours, and I will post my full benchmark of most popular VPS hosting.

I have tested the most of good hosting (Ocean digital, Vultr, Linode, OVH, Scaleway, Online.net ) which provide good services, but OVH is cheaper and I run up to 16 VPS without any trouble. And now with the vRack you can create a virtual network to use some as backup.

VPS SSD 1 is fast enough to load webpages. Start reading about how to install a light webserver with NGINX + PHP + MYSQL and you will have a LEMP stack 3x faster than a simple configuration. And it will not need more than 1vCore to run up to 5 websites easily.

You can see what is needed to run 45 websites with more than 1 000 000 visits / month. And the big amount of memory it's the cache.

KVM or OpenStack provide dedicated resources to users. Only solution with containers like virtuozzo are not really dedicated. KVM is the virtualization software and OpenStack a cloud computing management solution.

It's currently the most powerful solution to manage huge rack of servers, and to configure automatically the network via dhcp properly.
But anyway, for a web server without a control panel, 512MB ram is enough to get the maximum speed of the SSD.

To get more you can use to free RAM to put your assets on it, and you will again get few milliseconds better.

OVH is awesome is awesome for uptime! I only had one downtime and they gave all the customers a couple free months!

I asked this because I want to confirm it is KVM SSD which give me a dedicated VPS than using shared RAM or shared VPS

How long for the downtime you got?

Are there any ways to fix the downtime by yourself (like restarting VPS)? or contact them for supporting? if support, how long did it take they get back to you?

I want to hear your experience with them.

Also, the VPS SSD 1 is only 10GB. How much of that 10GB should be kept free before you would start to see decreased performance? (again, just for hosting mainly wordpress). Is it similar to a laptop computer, where when the hard drive/SSD starts getting near max capacity, I notice much slower performance on my computer?

Second, I am assuming the 2GB RAM that OVH provides (compared to 512MB and 1GB on similar priced plans from other providers) contributes more to the speed of the overall website than the lower 10GB disk space (compared to 30+ GB on similar priced plans from other providers). So I assume the RAM amount is more important here when concerned about site speeds.

I guess I am asking, what would you recommend as the best hosting plan for my situation? Sounds like it is OVH?

I am trying it and so far so good! If it continues to be good, then OVH is a really good deal for the 2GB RAM.

I plan to host 3 wordpress sites along with 3 Mautic installations so I am hoping the 2GB RAM will be enough for these 6 total installations, but that does sound like a lot... I am not sure..

If I ever need to upgrade to VPS SSD 2, is it an easy process to migrate my wordpress websites and other php applications? I have never used a VPS before so I am not sure about what I have to do if I ever want more RAM or memory storage in the future.

I also tried VPS at OVH, it doesn't have any problems. You don't need to worry about it.

If your sites doesn't have more traffic, that's not a problem. It should be good for 3 websites.
But if you install a hosting panel like cPanel, maybe you need more than 2GB of RAM.

What are php applications you are talking to?

Your websites will tell you when they need more RAM and disk space.

valuearb · Apr 13, 2017

For each wordpress installation, I will have 1 Mautic installation (marketing automation application). So I will have 6 total applications installed (3 Wordpress + 3 Mautic).

For the hosting panel, I am using Webuzo, which seems to be great so far. I am not sure if Webuzo will require me to have >2GB RAM... I hope not..

Your websites will tell you when they need more RAM and disk space.

Do you mean to say that OVH will tell me when I need more RAM and disk space? Is it usually a difficult process to move things, for example, if I have to move all my data from VPS SSD 1 to VPS SSD 2?

Regarding VPS and DO vs. Vultr, I would choose Vultr. The only disadvantage by Vultr is, they allow max. 3 IPs per instance.

hostinfuse · Apr 18, 2017

had couple of servers with them for a year, no downtime from their end

must say one of the cheapest providers

isix · Apr 18, 2017

Comparing the prices of VPSs clouds by DO vs. Vultr, DO offers more RAM, by VULTR you will get more disk space.

isix · Apr 18, 2017

Further VULTR allows to install your own ISO immage/OS on their VPSs.
